Ii is an honour and privilege to have known, loved and admired Angela the person, Angela the friend and Angela the utmost professional who charted many pathways of excellence nationally in Trinidad and Tobago, regionally in the Caribbean and globally through her work with the UN. When I received that dreaded call from Keisha Garcia of the Cropper Foundation shortly after her passing, I knew that despite this painful physical loss, the international significance of her intellectual drive towards human development within the context of environmental sustainability that she fostered, would be her enormous legacy to humanity. Her transition has brought to an end her painful struggle of the past several weeks but I feel assured that this period of eternal rest will bring her peace and tranquility. Her indomitable spirit of positivity will forever remain with me. Thank you Angela Cropper!!!
